York and Bristol sites are probably full but I can suggest town sites at Cheltenham, Oxford, Plymouth, London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Cambridge if they are of any interest to you.

Moreton-in-Marsh would have what your looking for, a very large dog walk and ten minutes walk from Morton, we have stayed lot's of times, and it's in a lovely part of the Cotswolds.

Don't know how far you want to travel, but Melrose Gibson Park might suit you. Site is adjacent to the town with good walking in the Border Hills and along the Tweed. There's a Co-op supermarket almost next door and thye town has some nice butchers etc. We have just had a long weekend there and thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I add reviews to my website I insert a little motorhome icon against those sites which are either in or near towns and villages or have good public transport links. You can see the selection here, there are quite a few of them.

Another thumbs up for Cirencester.

Love Ciren. Catherine, we used to live eight miles away.
But it beats me why anyone with dogs would want to go there when you can't take them into Waitrose, or any of the more classy shops, or the Kings Head or the Fleece, or the Corinium museum, or the craft market in the Corn Hall, or the antique auction sales.
What do people with dogs actually do when they get there? Just walk about?

Well, quite apart from the park for the dogs to run freely in, there are any number of pubs and restaurants in and around the town that welcome dogs, et!
Just depends if you are a fan of "classy shops" and antique auction sales I suppose!

Another thumbs up for Moreton in Marsh. Open all year - came back last weekend- Christmas lights switch on etc. No need at all to use motor - nice pubs - eateries - and now Aldi has just opened.
Big dog walk.

We are about to spend our 2nd Christmas at Ciren, with 2 Labradors! They have been frequent visitors to Tesco's and Waitrose Carpark, but they did get the hump when I went to the Chinese, seems that trip was a bit too short for them

I think the difference is that folk go to York almost exclusively to visit the city and its sites, WTG. By contrast, Cirencester, although it certainly has interest in the town itself is used more as a gateway to the Cotswolds and as such attracts a lot of dog owners such as ourselves.

My impression was that the OP was after a small town site though. There are likely to be many dog friendly options in smaller towns such as in Cirencester. I agree that visiting a large city with dogs is likely to cut down on one's options.
PS - Arrivakids - where did you choose in the end?

Waytogo. People with dogs adapt to various situations, town or country. Taking it turns to visit places is one way of doing it, I don't feel glued to OH for visits sometimes we want to see different things. Some good suggestions have been put forward.

That wasn't quite what I meant Deleted User User, many of us adapt to different circumstances and if we have pets with us on holiday we have to make responsible decisions. We have a very old dog just now who can be left snoozing for shortish periods in the van during colder weather....same as OH leaves me if he wants to go fishing.
(Which he does at Baltic Wharf, just outside the gate and it's certainly a city site!)

WTG, we visit York on a fairly regular basis, and are going there again in a week or so, and we always take our dog with us. There are plenty of spots to walk with him and see what we want to see, as we do in other towns & cities we visit.

Well within walking distance and presumably not too far from you. CC don't advise you go via Winatts Pass though ..... it's a fairly steep
